British Airways flight diverted

A British Airways flight originating from London and bound for Houston was diverted to Chicago’s O'Hare International Airport (KORD/ORD) on 5 October 2008 after the pilot reported a "situation" on board the aircraft. HazMat was called to the scene at the airport and all passengers and crew were safely cleared and taken off the aircraft without injuries. The Chicago Aviation Department did not know the specifics of the diversion, but unconfirmed reports claim that an investigation into a potentially flammable item in the cargo area was being conducted.
